If cooler weather has you thinking “soup season”, this Italian Wedding Soup is worth a try! Allison made it for her family this weekend and it was declared a hit.
Italian Wedding Soup
Ingredients:
Meatballs
½ lb. ground pork
½ lb. ground beef
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
Soup
1 yellow onion, diced
1 ¼ cups carrots, diced
2 celery ribs, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
¾ cup acini de pepe pasta, uncooked
4-5 cups fresh spinach
salt/pepper, to taste
Instructions:
-
Gently combine the meatball ingredients, don’t overwork the meat. Roll into 3/4-inch balls.
-
Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat.
-
Brown the meatballs in batches for about 2 minutes. The middle of the meatballs will finish cooking in the soup. Remove and set aside.
-
Add the onions, carrots, and celery and soften over medium heat for 6 minutes, until softened. Add a splash of olive oil during cooking if needed.
-
Add the garlic and Italian seasoning and cook for 1 minute.
-
Add the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
-
Add the cooked meatballs and simmer gently while you boil the pasta separately until al dente. Drain once cooked through and add the pasta to serving bowls. (Otherwise the pasta tends to absorb the broth during storage. If you don’t anticipate leftovers, you can cook the pasta in the soup or add the cooked pasta to the pot of soup.)
-
Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
-
Ladle the soup into serving bowls and garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Serve!
